W.  A.  BRANDENBURG, 
President. 


WALTER  McCRAY, 
Director  or  Music. 


Those  wishing  to  begin  or  to  further  im- 
prove their  knowledge  of  the  piano  will 
recognize  the  unusual  advantage  in  this  de- 
partment. Real  finesse  in  execution  and  in- 
terpretation of  the  masters  can  be  gained. 


GERTRUDE  CONCANNON, 
Director  of  Piano  Department. 


A Certificate  for  Piano  will  be  granted  to 
students  completing  Course  2.  This  course 
includes  Musical  History,  two  years  of  Har- 
mony, and  one  semester  of  Sight  Singing. 

A Diploma  for  Piano  will  be  granted  to 
students  completing  Course  3.  This  course 
includes  Harmony,  Counterpoint,  Orchestra- 
tion, Musical  History,  one  semester  of  Sight 
Singing. 


Special  attention  is  given  in  first  year’s  'work 
in  Voice  Department  to  placing  of  voice,  cor- 
rect breathing,  scales,  sight  singing,  Concone 
lessons,  and  single  songs  for  phrasing  and 
enunciation. 


EDITH  BIDEAU, 
Voice  Department. 


Second  year’s  work  consists  of  scales,  arpeg- 
gios, Concone  lessons,  Marches!  studies,  Eng- 
lish and  German  songs.  Arias  from  oratorios. 

At  frequent  intervals  public  and  private  re- 
citals are  given  in  which  all  capable  students 
are  required  to  take  part. 


It  is  impossible  to  write  out  exactly  the 
course  of  studies  pursued  in  this  department. 
Each  pupil  will  receive  those  exercises  and 
pieces  which  the  particular  case  requires.  Can- 
didates for  certificates  must  give  a good  per- 
formance of  a piece  approximating  in  tech- 
nical and  music  difficulty  works  like  concertos 
by  Viotty  and  Rode,  and  they  must  have 
studied  the  etudes  of  Kreutzer  and  Dont,  and 
the  scales  of  Halier. 


RETTA  HESSELBERG, 
Violin  Department. 


Candidates  for  diplomas  must  be  equal  to 
the  interpretation  of  solo  sonatas  by  Bach,  con- 
certos by  Vieuxtemps,  Mozart,  Wieniawski, 
Spohr,  Mendelssohn,  and  some  modern  compo- 
sitions, as  Kreisler  and  Saint-Saens. 


Concerts  and  recitals  in  piano  are  given 
frequently  during  the  year,  in  which  all  capable 
students  are  required  to  take  part. 


MARGARET  LEAVITT, 
Pianist. 


Other  concerts  and  entertainments  by  repu- 
table artists  are  given  in  the  Normal  Audi- 
torium, and  in  the  city,  thus  affording  students 
an  opportunity  to  hear  plenty  of  good  music. 


The  growing  demand  for  thoroughly  trained 
teachers  and  supervisors  of  Public  School 
Music,  has  induced  this  School  to  establish  this 
Department  as  a special  feature. 


INA  MARIAN  McKNIGHT, 
Public  School  Music  and  Voice. 


The  Supervisor’s  Course  not  only  requires  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  Piano,  Voice,  Harmony, 
Counterpoint,  History  of  Music,  Sight  Singing, 
Chorus  Conducting,  and  Orchestration,  but  each 
student  must  do  practice  teaching  in  the  Model 
School  under  direction  of  critic  teacher. 

A class  for  benefit  of  grade  teachers  who 
desire  a knowledge  of  the  rudiments  of  music 
is  organized  each  semester.  Class  meets  daily 
and  full  credit  is  given. 


Clpttpral  Jnfnrmation 


1.  All  students  must  be  enrolled  before  they 
can  get  their  lesson  assignment. 

2.  All  lessons  must  be  paid  for  in  advance, 
or  a written  statement  from  the  President  ex- 
tending time  of  payment. 

3.  Lessons  missed  on  account  of  sickness 
will  be  made  up,  if  the  teacher  or  director  of 
music  is  notified  prior  to  the  lesson  period. 

4.  Lessons  on  dismissal  days  must  be  made 
up  as  arranged  and  announced  by  the  Depart- 
ment. 

5.  Piano,  Voice  and  Violin  are  thirty-minute 
periods.  Promptness  is  required  so  as  not  to 
infringe  on  the  time  of  the  following  period. 

6.  The  semester  of  18  weeks  is  divided  into 
two  music  terms  of  9 weeks  each,  requiring  an 
enrollment  every  9 weeks  in  all  music  subjects. 

7.  Department  of  Music  of  S.  M.  T.  N.  offers 
courses  as  complete  as  any  of  the  leading  Con- 
servatories of  Music.  Every  teacher  is  an 
artist  in  his  special  line,  which  gives  students 
the  advantages  of  a larger  city. 

8.  Students  will  be  admitted  to  this  Depart- 
ment at  any  time  during  the  year,  but  ad- 
vantages are  generally  better  if  entrance  is 
made  at  beginning  of  semester. 

9.  Reasonable  credit  is  given  for  all  music 
work.  Music  may  be  an  elective  in  any  course 
in  the  institution. 

10.  There  are  several  musical  organizations 
in  which  talented  students  not  in  this  Depart- 
ment may  take  part.  Among  them:  The  Male 
Glee  Club,  The  Polymnia  Club,  The  Orchestra, 
the  Band,  and  a Mixed  Chorus. 

11.  Concerts  are  given  during  the  year,  and 
in  the  spring  all  organizations  unite  with  mu- 
sicians of  surrounding  communities  for  a 
week’s  “Spring  Music  Festival.” 

For  further  particulars,  write  Professor 
WALTER  McCRAY,  Director  of  Department 
of  Music.
